The ULTIMATE compliment

My darling Bruria is ever the social butterfly, always wanting to go to play at a friend's house.  So imagine how great I felt after the following scenario:

Yesterday I bought Bruria and Yisrael each a deck of cards- card games (primarily war), have become the new obsession in our home.  I decided to teach Bruria how to play "Spit" so that she'd have a variety of what to play.  So we were sitting on the rug, playing "Spit" (I was letting her win; isn't it nice that I can control myself for my daughter's sake!?) when the phone rang.

"שלום, זאת רבקי ברים, אפשר לדבר עם ברוריה?"

I handed the phone to Bruria, sure that our game was over.  I only heard Bruria's side of the conversation, but it went something like this:

"מי זאת?"
"מה את רוצה?"
"אבל אני משחקת עם אמא שלי!" (said with a shrug of her shoulders, her body language that means, I don't want!)
"שלום!"

Aaaaaaawwwwwww...

While you may have lost the game, you won the prize!
